The Moon Rises in the West by Ayakumi

Organized Chaos

~~~sess's pov~~~

'Great... this is just great!! How in the hell do i get myself into these situations!?!?!?!'

Somewhere not too far away, the sound of crackling energy, followed by a destructive sounding crash and a small scream of pain, interrupts Sesshoumaru's not too calm thoughts.

*sigh* ' i better get down there before she destroys herself... wait, why do i care if she does or not?'

~'... maybe for the same reason you went throught all the effort to save her in the first place?'~

>'NO!!!!! you just wanted to take her before you destroy her yourself, trust me!'<

~' baka! then why wouldnt he have just done that in the first place, instead of treating her and sealing her in that room, hmmmm???'~

>'teme.... *growl*'<

' what in the hell?!?!?!?!!!! both of you, stay out of my thoughts and business!!! ... both of you!?!'

~'*sigh* and i thought you were smarter than that sesshoumaru-sama. im your subconcious and this ahou(>' hey!!!'<) is your demon conscience.'~

>'that's almost right... since im a demon conscience and you are a demon, all you have to do is listen to me, dont worry about him.'<

~'just what are you trying to do! stop confusing him!!'~

'THAT IS IT!!! i've had enough of both of you! if you are both indeed parts of me then i command you to stop this nonsense!'

>'hahahaha just because you have control over your demon instincts does not mean you can silence me! hahaha...'<

~'unfortunately, he is right. you can't make us stop because it's not like you can force us, we're not physical entities! sorry...'~

'i, sesshoumaru, will find a way to silence you both forever... ummm later.'

To anyone watching him, it would seem as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened at all, the calm on his face was decieveing. Thankfully, another scream brought him out of his thoughts and he quickly used most of his mental control to keep his mind focused on the present.

'Those two idiots (well maybe only one of them) made a couple of goods points. What was I thinking?'

~~flashback 1 (weeeeeeeeee ^_^) ~~

"Sesshoumaru-sama!!! Can Rin play in here?"

" Of course Rin, but be careful." He had pretty much given Rin the run of his castle ever since he had rescued her. Much to the dismay of a certain servant. He prepared himself for the oncoming screech.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! That is the apothecary room where all the potions and ancient youkai spells are kept! Letting that wretch in there will only put us all in danger! ahhhhhhh!!!" A sharp kick to the head effectively quieted and sent Jaken flying into the nearest wall.

' What harm can a little girl do?' He quickly left Rin to play.

~~end flashback 1 ~~

'Kami-sama, that was one of the stupidest things that this Sesshoumaru has ever assumed' The chaos that had ensued after that was something he would never forget.'

~~flashback 2 (last one... for now) ~~

He had been on one of his routine attacks on his hanyou brother (about once a moon cycles or so...) however this one would prove to be slightly different. Even before it had started, he knew it would be different. For instance, he was forced to bring Rin with him this time. Jaken had been ill, even though he suspected it had something to do with Rin pestering him more than usual, although that didn't explain the strange color of purple that Jaken had turned, but even he couldn't discover the reason for this. An unimportant detail, or as Sesshoumaru considered it...

He set down about two miles from Inuyasha's forest. Content that Rin was skipping at about 3 feet ahead of him, he paid little attention to her person besides her scent. Walking at the pace that Rin had set, he had time to observe what was going on for miles around. His brother was about a mile off, and being the weakling that he was, had not yet sensed this Sesshoumaru's presence. From what he could smell, his brother was digging in the dirt??!! (teehee!!^_^)

'He may be a dog hanyou, but at least I, Sesshoumaru, do not dig in the dirt like a common dog! Hmm?'

Bringing himself out of his reverie, or should he say, the smell of Inuyasha's woman running towards them. Before he could say or think anything else, she appeared at the edge of the woods they were about to walk into.

'How did I let her get so close without realizing it!'

He moved as if to get in front of Rin, to protect her from what he didn't know because he had never percieved this girl as a threat to him. It was almost instinct that made his feet move in time with his tail unravel from around his shoulder and to sweep her behind him. The chain of events that followed would lead to a world of ensuing chaos.

"Kagome-sama!!!!!" "Rin-chan?... Sesshoumaru?!!!"

Rin ran towards Kagome, with a speed that amazed even Sesshoumaru, all while bringing something out of her kimono. Unable to get in front of her in time, Sesshoumaru's tail beat him to it, sending Rin tumbling. Kagome saw her start to fall and tried to jump forward to catch her. And the chaos reorganized itself into reality...

The only sounds were of breaking glass, a splash of something that once resided in the glass, and the cries of both the little girl and the older girl alike...

As Sesshoumaru walked down the hallway to investigate the , oh what 12th crash in the past day and a half.
